Published Reviews

"The ninth edition has many positive changes, including in the presentation, such as color coding of sections and charts and diagrams, which have made the information easier to assimilate. The book also provides up-to-date information while keeping with the traditional feel of previous editions. In times where electronic media have taken over print media, <B><I>Kelley's</I></B> still draws readers. It is likely the most definitive rheumatology book not only in the U.S., but also in the rest of the world".- Deepali P Sen, M.D.(Washington University Medical Center) Doody 5 star review!
